This is a 2,500-5,000 word essay that uses academic standards of argumentation to respond to a problem in the world. As such, this essay needs to be a fitting response to a problem in the world. What you write should have a distinct exigence, a clear thesis, logical evidence, and a clear importance. These criteria alone, however, are not enough to create a great argument; this essay needs to be ethically written, which means sources must be accurately summarized, arguments must be cohesive, evidence must be holistic, all implications must be considered, and conclusions must be realistic.
